COVID-19 INDOOR AIR QUALITY CONCERNS
Summary Points:
- Indoor air quality improvements in existing institutional and commercial buildings may help reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission
- Possible ventilation improvement measures are HEPA or upgraded filters in air handlers, increased ventilation rates in air handlers, demand-controlled ventilation adjustments, opening windows, and thoughtful allocation of space use relative to existing ventilation systems and provisions
- The building systems experts at Stephen Turner Inc. are available for no-cost consultations with commercial building owners to help explore possible improvements to the ventilation systems in their buildings
